How to increase front of Turbotax app on Mac

The front of TurboTax app is so tiny and hard to read. I have increased text size on system setting, but was not helpful. Please share how to increase font size.  My MacOS version is 15.3.

Assuming you are referring to the font size: Another expert recommended the following to increase font/text size:

 

How to Increase the Text Size on Your Mac

  1. Click the Apple icon in the top left corner.
  2. Select System Preferences.
  3. Select Displays.
  4. Click Scaled.
  5. Select a lower resolution. If you see icons with different sized previews of text, select the icon that says Larger Text and click OK.

 

Another description of this fix, adjusting the resolution on your screen, appears on this Apple Support page:

 

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Displays in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.) Select the display you want to adjust, then select the resolution you want to use. You may be able to turn on “Show all resolutions” to see additional resolutions for the display.

 

Depending on how you adjust the resolution, some app windows may not fit entirely on the screen. Using a scaled resolution may affect performance.

 

In the alternative, you could hook up a separate monitor to your Mac.

 

Another font issue reported by a Mac user in this Apple support forum found that a problem with printing was due to a font issue. 

 

An Intuit rep on the QB forum recommended this fix:

 

To print..., you must change... to Airy New. Here's how to change custom form styles (in Acrobat):

  5. Choose Airy New.
